Our Reviews

Frequently Asked Questions

What is student storage?+

Student storage gives you an affordable, secure place to keep your belongings during holidays, between terms, or when your accommodation does not have enough space. We understand you do not want to spend a lot of time sorting storage or hand over large amounts of money upfront either.

What can I store in a student storage unit?+

You can store almost anything from your student life including furniture, books, clothes, electronics, sporting equipment, musical instruments, bedding, study supplies, posters and decorations. Whether it is your band’s kit between gigs or just the van-load of stuff you have accumulated at university, we can help.

Please note we are unable to store food, anything living, flammable substances, illegal items, or anything that could be dangerous or attract pests.

Do you offer student discounts?+

Yes. We offer 20% off for the first six months to all students showing a valid student card. We know money can be tight when you are studying, so we want to make storage as affordable as possible.

What is pallet storage and is it suitable for students?+

Pallet storage is our most cost-effective option if you do not need regular access to your belongings. Your items are placed on a pallet, wrapped securely and stored in our large, secure unit. When you are ready to collect, just let us know in advance and we will have everything ready for you.

Pallet storage starts at £37.50 plus VAT per month, and with a valid student card you receive 20% off for the first six months. It is ideal for storing everything during summer holidays or a gap year.

Can I use storage while I travel or take a gap year?+

Yes, absolutely. Student storage is ideal when you are heading off to explore the world. Our flexible rental terms mean you can store for as little or as long as you need. Many students use our storage during gap years, study abroad programmes or extended travels.

How do I know what size storage unit I need?+

We will help you work out the most cost-effective solution when you visit us. Our team can assess what you need to store and recommend the smallest space possible, because you should only pay for what you need. We also offer pallet storage for maximum affordability.

Do you help with moving and packing?+

Yes. We know packing up and moving is laborious and time-consuming. We can handle small student removals in-house, or put you in touch with trusted partners for larger moves, from man-with-a-van services through to full removal companies.

We also have boxes and packaging materials available to borrow or buy. Our minimum charge for removals is £72.00 (inc VAT).

Are there any hidden costs with GTW storage?+

No hidden costs at all. We are upfront about everything from day one and our team will explain exactly what you will pay with no surprises. That is how we have built trust with customers for over 120 years.

How secure are your storage facilities?+

Your belongings are safe with us. We have comprehensive security measures in place including CCTV monitoring and alarm systems. We are right in Glasgow’s financial district and have been trusted by customers since 1903, which speaks for itself.

When can I access my storage unit?+

You can access your unit seven days a week during our opening hours. We understand student schedules do not always follow conventional patterns, so we make sure you can get to your belongings when you need them. Please note that pallet storage requires advance notice for access.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?+

We keep things flexible because student life can be unpredictable. Whether you need storage for the summer holidays, a semester abroad or just between moving accommodations, we will work with whatever suits you best.

What's the process for getting started?+

Simply visit us during opening hours, no appointment needed. We will show you around, help you choose the right storage solution for your needs and budget, sort out the paperwork and you can start moving in straight away. Do not forget to bring your student card to receive the discount.

Can I return my items to a different location?+

We are based in Glasgow, so collection is from our facility. However, if you need help arranging transport to a different location, our removal partners can assist with moves across Scotland and beyond.

Where are you located and is parking available?+

We are located in the heart of Glasgow’s financial district and have been here since 1903. Despite being city centre, we have excellent customer parking and easy vehicle access, so getting your items to us is no trouble at all.

Why should I choose GTW over other storage companies?+

We are a fifth generation Glasgow family business that has been trusted with people’s belongings since 1903.

We understand our customers and know you want storage that is available when you need it, helpful, flexible and easy to use. We work hard to ensure our service runs smoothly so you can focus on your studies.
